Unhealthy Debate by Ivan Jenson

When I slurp
from your cold
cognitive perspective
I get brain freeze
and suffer pain
much greater than a papercut
and when you speak
directly from your ego
you give me
an emotional stubbed toe
so please stop
spewing non-sequitur vitriol
that your closed mind
makes up
because it gives me
transcendental hiccups
and I am sick of
your pseudo judo
intellectual sass
and have had enough
of your outdated data
because it all has
the very wrong odor
of righteous gas
so get out of here
before I hypothetically
kick your cerebral ass
